Solar Vatican

The Vatican is going solar in a big way. The smallest country in the world recently announced that it intends to spend 660 million dollars to create what will effectively be Europe’s largest solar power plant. This massive 100 mw solar energy installation plan will provide enough energy to make the Vatican the first solar energy powered nation state in the world!

Solar energy by this solar plant will generate enough energy to power all of its 40,000 households. The solar energy plant installation will be located on a 740 acre site near Santa Maria di Galeria - the same place where the Vatican Radio’s transmission tower is located. The solar energy that it produces will be way above the needs of the entire Vatican, providing enough power to meet the needs of Vatican radio nine times over.
In his Environment energy posting Jorge Chapa also reported that ,these aren’t the only steps Vatican will be taking to reduce greenhouse emissions. It is contemplating using an electric pope mobile, the Vatican cafeteria will soon be decked with a solar heating system to provide heating and cooling, and even the Pope’s summer residence is being fitted out to get power from the methane generated by the horse stables. When looking for inspiration, the Pope clearly defers towards the heavens, but when looking for electricity, the sun is his choice.

Shipping Polution : The unaddressed issue

15 of the world giant cargo ships are accountable for emitting as much pollution as 760m cars. According to a study conducted that a one giant container ship emits almost same amount of asthma and cancer causing chemical 50m cars. More than 90000 ocean going cargo ships are responsible for 4.5 % of the global carbon emissions. Powerful nations so far have been unable to impose strict policies and a law on shipping industry which is alone in USA is causing 60,000 deaths every year. Much more Scrutiny is need and the issue should be addressed more seriously.

Cars driving 15,000km a year emit approximately 101 grammes of sulphur oxide gases (or SOx) in that time. The world's largest ships' diesel engines which typically operate for about 280 days a year generate roughly 5,200 tonnes of SOx.

What is the (green) point in buying a Hybrid Car that has been transported in a Cargo ship lumbering across the world's oceans at a leisurely pace emitting suicidal amounts of CO2 and SOX. That Hybrid or Environment friendly car becomes responsible for emitting GHG before hitting the road.
